A Pastor Reports on the Lakeland "Revival"

Posted by Dan C. on

Pastor Gary Osborne has begun a series of articles evaluating the Lakeland “revival” here. After having read quite a bit concerning Lakeland, as well as having watched the training/sending out of ‘street’ witnessing teams, the pre-service worship service, and some of the services (not just the short clips appearing here and there, I think the series will be well worth the read. My personal tack has been to present the characteristics of true revival here at the Battle Cry, while remaining convinced that thoughtful and discerning believers will be able to sort it all out with the help provided by the Holy Spirit while prayerfully searching scripture. Especially noteworthy is that this evaluation is coming from a pro-Pentecostal perspective.

There is also a five part series evaluating Brian McClaren’s “Everything Must Change” conference from the same perspective of a Pastor who attended the conference, accessible from the ‘Previous Posts’ section at the right of the page.

  1. Justin Peters went to observe first hand this “revival” and this is what he wrote about it…

    He has since called every one whose number he had gotten after they were “healed.” Every single one of them is in the same condition they were in prior to their “healing.”

    You can see his “demo” here: http://www.justinpeters.org where he is making a presentation to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary on the metaphysical, “new age” roots of the Word of Faith movement.

    He spoke at my church and comes highly recommended by my pastor, Dr. John MacArthur.

  2. I’ll have to check out both. . .Dr. MacArthur is your pastor? I’m teaching a military chapelmen’s group concerning ALL of Scripture using parts of two of his teachings I downloaded and for which I found the transcripts. I have Ashamed of the Gospel, The Gospel According to Jesus (earlier edition), Hard to Believe and The Truth War on my shelf. He is coming to a conference here in the Springs in July I am going to try and attend.

    I am pleased to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
